Earlier Justice Ojukwu had struck out the previous seven-count charge filed against them after it was substituted by the prosecution with a new charge.

Recall that the judge had on Wednesday lambasted the prosecution for not being prepared for trial and ordered the Nigerian Government to pay the defendants N200, 000 each for time wasting.
